  2. FACTS • Known for being a sedentary tree-dwelling mammal, the sloth rarely moves at all spending much of its day hanging upside-down from tree limbs. • The animal is so lethargic that its fur is often host to small moths, beetles and even algae. • The algae coats the sloth’s brown, white or black fur with a greenish tinge camouflaging it against predators in the forest.
